This book chronicles the experience of the World War II
paratroopers from their earliest days in training to final days of
the war spent at Berchtesgaden. Relying heavily on memoirs,
letters, and personal interviews with soldiers, this work
highlights the rigors of training, the spectacle of combat, and the
relief of survival and victory. From D-Day to Bastogne, Kaufmann
follows the American advance across France, shedding light on the
emotional strain and shock of combat that was, until recently,
often overlooked by generations of Americans, but freely admitted
to by the Vets themselves. Along the way, the book details the
struggle faced by American G.I.s as they made their way through
France. Indeed, it becomes clear the Nazis were not the only
obstacle to Mutt and Joe during the campaign. The common problems
of supply and relief often exacerbated difficult conditions in the
field, while incompetent line officers often raised doubt and
suspicion among men in the ranks. Ultimately, this is a very
personal story about struggle and triumph, told by those who
endured the hardship of combat.
